<h3>Why Use This Plugin?</h3>
While Yoast SEO provides a media sitemap, it doesn’t allow separate links for images or videos. Our plugin fills this gap by offering independent sitemaps for each type of media, ensuring better SEO coverage and more targeted search engine indexing.
<h3>Advanced Feature:</h3>
Even with Yoast SEO’s media sitemap options enabled, this plugin generates independent sitemaps for better control and optimization of your media assets.
<h3>Extra Notes:</h3>
Please visit Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and simply click “Save Changes”. This will flush and refresh the rewrite rules so that the custom sitemap URLs start working properly.
<h3>Translations</h3>
This plugin is translatable into multiple languages. A <code>.pot</code> file is included in the <code>/languages/</code> directory. 
To create or use translations: 
1. Create a <code>.po</code> file for your language using the <code>.pot</code> file.
